[TYPO3] File link (simple question?)

[Michael Niemann]

Hello,
I don't know this extension but usually if I add a field I'll also have to add some code to the frontend plugin to generate some output for that field.

How does the si_bibtex plugin look? Does it iterate through all fields and does it use a template?

If you ask a question specific to a single extension only people who know this extension might be able to answer. Otherwise you'd need to give some insight on how the extension works.

Regards Michael

There have been no replies to this question. I'm sure it must be 
possible, but I still can't nut it out. Any takers please?

I'm trying to re-purpose a field in the si_bibtex extension to make it
appear as a link to an uploaded file.

I've got it working in the back end by adding this to extTables.php:

$GLOBALS['TCA']["tx_sibibtex_entries"]['columns']['institution']['config']['type']


= 'input';
$GLOBALS['TCA']["tx_sibibtex_entries"]['columns']['institution']['config']['wizards']


= array(
     'link' => Array(
        'type' => 'popup',
        'title' => 'Link',
        'icon' => 'link_popup.gif',
        'script' => 'browse_links.php?mode=wizard',
        'JSopenParams' =>
'height=300,width=500,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1'
        )
);

However on the page in the front end, it just appears as plain text, eg

fileadmin/user_upload/whitepaper.pdf

How do i get it to render as a link to the file, and with the link text
being just the filename, eg

[a href="fileadmin/user_upload/whitepaper.pdf"]whitepaper.pdf[/a]

I hope someone can help me.
